The MX5 has been TONA'd!
« on: 05 September 2011, 18:21 »
Guy came over today to give the MX5 a treat so I can keep it in tip top shape over the winter months. Top job as always from Mr Frankland.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Rain stopped play at the end so will have to get some nice photos of the whole car over the next few days.

Massive thanks to Guy as always!

this was dealt with in another session

i managed to polish them out, then seal and protect the paintwork

unfortunately it looks like the paint was beyond help and that the pigment had failed... so Nick decided that a home brew spray and lacquer session was in order

i polished the bonnet yesterday to try and bring it back up, unfortunately the lacquer was as soft as ice cream as it hasn't cured properly, so it was very difficult not inflicting more swirls in than I was taking out... we got there in the end though!  :evil:
